Did you see the morning sky this morning? Venus was just under the waning moon. ( .( )
It was absolutely stunning. The sky was a cobalt blue with just the fringe of a rainbow sunrise
on the horizon.
It would be interesting to combine GPS, GIS, and Astronomy to get different perspectives of celestial events and the reasoning behind the visual based on Lat/Lon and elevation.
